OPEN car shipping

Almost all vehicle owners in Montana use open auto transport to ship their trucks, ATVs, SUVs and everyday cars. Even auto dealerships use this method of transportation—you’ve probably seen these trailers on the road. With open transport, cars can easily be arranged and quickly loaded and unloaded, making this option efficient and cost-effective. Remember that during transit, vehicles will be exposed to the elements and may accumulate a bit of dirt.

ENCLOSED car shipping

If you need to transport a classic car, high-end luxury vehicle or powersport with low ground clearance, enclosed auto transport is for you. With this option, trailers have hydraulic lift gates and other equipment to properly load and unload these types of vehicles. Choosing enclosed car shipping means that your prized possession will have some protection from weather and road hazards, offering additional peace of mind when shipping to or from Montana.

Montana car shipping FAQs

A simple way to save money is by opting for open auto transport rather than enclosed. You can also save money by keeping your pickup date flexible, meeting your truck driver near a main route and avoiding seasonal demand.

Yes, your vehicle will be covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance. Additionally, Montway has its own contingent cargo insurance which protects you for up to $250,000 should the trucker’s policy fail to fully cover a valid claim.

Yes! Even if your car, truck, van or other vehicle is inoperable, we are still able to transport it. Be sure to indicate this when booking your shipment, since specialized equipment will need to be used to load and unload it on and off the truck. If your inoperable vehicle is not able to roll, break and steer it will require added equipment and work, which will be an additional expense.

We suggest the car is clean so that any existing damage is fully visible. Remove any personal items, especially anything of value. Also remove automatic toll devices and disable any kind of security system which could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle to be sure there is enough for loading and unloading.

With Montway you can have one piece of luggage in the trunk free of charge. This could be a box, suitcase, or bag, weighing no more than 100 lbs.

You should book your car transport as soon as you know pick up and delivery dates and locations. The further in advance you can schedule shipping, the more likely your vehicle will be delivered within your desired timeframe. We suggest booking between two and three weeks prior to the pick up date. Expedited pickup options are also available at an additional cost.
